I have a Reckon Personal Plus 2018 with Investment data going back almost twenty years. The file is now becoming almost too big to use. How do I reduce the file size, while retaining the purchase history of all my current investments, some of whom date back to the beginning of the file? What can I say, I am a horder of my investments.

The .qph file syntax is based on 4-byte addressing and should support 2GByte file size.There are some reports that are limited to 32,000 transactions (2-byte indexing) but by specifying date ranges to limit the report size, it appears to give the correct results.It would not surprise me if price records for a single company are limited to 32,000 so 90 years of records should see most of us out.It would certainly be a useful utility if the .qph file could be restructured, to contain all records for each company sequentially and remove non-existent/deleted company records. This could also assist the flickering when it relates to investment screens. Another wait for Jesus improvement !As we have seen with the flickering post, we will be limited by performance before file size should be an issue.

It is only a 46 MGB file - so I suppose I will ahve to live with the slow performance and the flickering on the investment screens.Thoughts about why my recent investment in Z1P - Zip - will no longer update the prices daily?
